This Handbook is designed to help cooperative education and
internship professionals and employers design, carry out, and
disseminate quality research and evaluation studies of work-based
education. It offers examples of current, leading-edge studies
about work-based education, but with a practical twist: The chapter
authors frame their studies within a specific key research design
issue, including finding a starting point and a theoretical
framework; fitting research into one's busy practitioner workload;
deciding on particular data-gathering methods and an overall
methodological approach; integrating qualitative and quantitative
methodologies; and disseminating results. Also addressed are
questions and concerns that are relevant throughout the course of a
research project: the use of theory in research; the role and
relationship of program assessment to research; and ethical
considerations in research. By combining descriptions of exemplary
research and evaluation studies with practical advice from top
researchers in the field, this volume is a useful tool for
educators and employers who are designing and carrying out their
own studies, as well as a resource for what current research is
discovering and affirming about the field itself. Educators from
other fields, such as study abroad and service-learning will also
find this book an indispensable reference in conducting research on
experiential learning and teaching.
